Ok, I´ll try again:
- Phone as a hotspot
- Conncect OpenAuto to that Hotspot (on the Phone!, The Phone would be the external WiFi-Source)
This should establish a working connection between the phone and the raspberry. If this would not built up a proper connection to OpenAuto... well, that is an issue wit OpenAuto.
But Ok. I tried with 3 different phones. Caterpillar S61, Blackberry KeyOne and Sony Xperia Z3 Mini.
All of them were connected to the Hotspot of Android Auto AND connected via Bluetooth. There was no way of starting Android Auto... "Android Auto is currently unavailable"
My Phones startet Android Auto, when BT connection was established, but OpenAuto did not react. I tried by connecting manually, and entered the IP of the phone -> same Error message.
Connection by USB is working without any issues... but I paid for wireless connection!
I already filed for a refund, and I expect a refund! Where is the promised detailed description and user manual? All I have is to figure out by myself and the PDF-User Guide ist not very helpful. Oh, for the MMI2G, I expected to have the information how to do so without asking for it, as it is advertised with this.
Come on, this software has potential, but without proper documentation, it is worthless. I don´t want to mess around with forums, for every little problem.
I could have uses an android-box with a wireless AnrdoisAuto dongle. But I didn´t want to mess around with settings and so on to get it in working condition. I expected OpenAuto to be plug and play... which it is not!
Calm down Its quite easy. Make sure Wireless Android Auto is enabled in OpenAuto. Then you just connect your phone via Bluetooth to OpenAuto. Afterwards stat the WIFI hotspot in OpenAuto and connect to the OpenAuto WIFI (No hotspot on phone needed). Default password is 1234567890 and can be changed in the config file. (BTW, this information is really missing in the manual).
When you phone is connected with the OpenAuto Wifi start Android Auto and make sure you have enabled wireless projection with the developer settings in Android Auto.
Now go to the Android Auto tab on Open Auto and click WIFI and it should connect.
If not there is a problem with the installation. I had this since I came with and update from OpenAuto 6.1. But with a new installation it is now working just fine.
Give it another try.
